SQL Script To Shrink A File (Data or Log) in Chunks

This SQL script shrinks a database file (data or log) in chunks to avoid performance issues. It takes the database name, logical file name, and chunk size as parameters. It uses cursors to identify the target file, calculate the current and desired sizes, and repeatedly shrink the file in chunks with DBCC SHRINKFILE until it reaches the desired size.
